Title bars color causes Mozilla display errors

Hello,
with NTLite (v 1.9.0.7330) i built a customized Windows 10 (1909 pro x86) Image to remove some default Apps and make some privacy and optical tweaks.

System is runing well, but when i install Mozilla Firefox (v60.8.0esr 32) i get display errors on the firefox window.
Window is cut off on the edges and when resizing or switching from fullscreen to windowed or minimize to Taskbar some flickering effects occure and sometimes firefox gets transparent. Errors also accour on Mozilla Thunderbird.

This seems to happen, when i set the option in NTLite:
Settings -> Desktop -> "Show accent color on active title bars" to Enabled.
In Windows settings -> Personalization -> Color -> "Title bars and window borders" is Enabled.
When setting "Title bars and window borders" to Disabled. Firefox has no problems.

But - when installing a non tweaked Windows, i can activate
Settings -> Personalization -> Color -> "Title bars and window borders"
and firefox has no problems.
.
I testet it on a Laptop and Tower PC both intel CPU and VGA and i made 3 new builts with NTLite.

THX for reply

Hi Fil, thank you for the hint wiht the color code.
This really seems to have efect on the problem.
Can you recommend a color code that works?

Up to now i haven't found a working one (even without leading 00)
When i install Firefox, i still have the problem until i go to controlpanel and choose a windows given color.
 
Hello again,
i still can't find a working solution for the "Show accent color on active title bars" in NTlite vs Mozilla.
No matter what color code i set in NTlite, Mozilla Firefox has massive display issues.
OK - i'd say, it is a Firefox bug. But when i set a color in Windows manually, it works correct.
The problem only occurs, when a color is set in NTlite.

When a color is set by NTlite, then "Show accent color .." is deaktivatet manually, and re-activated - it works.
NTlite seems to make a litle difference in activating the accent color.
 
Hi, yes. My preset attached.
I hope and think there is no data in, i schould not post :)

For the color values, are you looking at REGEDIT for the hex or decimal value?

Code:
                        <TweakGroup name="DesktopTweaks">
                                <Tweak name="Accent\AccentColorMenu">10705680</Tweak>
                                <Tweak name="DWM\AccentColorInactive">13882323</Tweak>
                                <Tweak name="DWM\ColorPrevalence">1</Tweak>
 
Does this look right?

10705680 -> #a35b10 (BGR format) -> #105ba3 (RGB format) Denim
13882323 -> #d3d3d3 (BGR format) -> #d3d3d3 (RGB format) Light Grey

Replace with the second column of values. BGR is switching R & B around, G is unchanged.
 
I have the exact same issue. Took me a while to track it down to the colour accents. Unfortunately I never found a reliable way when setting within NTLite. I have a script which runs after installation which sets the correct code or I have to do it manually. Although this issue might be with Firefox, I wonder if there is a workaround to get it working within NTLite.

The colours I set were Blue, Light Blue, Royal Blue and light grey for inactive title bars.

The way this information is stored in the registry is different when set manually.

Hope a solution can be found. Sorry I couldn't post with a solution.

I wonder if you can make the conversion manually and instead of selecting a colour, you add the colour code?
 
NTLite could, but it's confusing -- do you copy the BGR value from REGEDIT, or use the RGB color picker? It can't do both. I think nuhi's preference is to accept the literal value from REGEDIT because that's what Windows keeps. Maybe change the text tip to explain this difference.
 
I've managed to use the colour picker and then edit the colour code. I had to copy and paste it out and back in again as the editor doesn't allow keyboard input. The alternative that I do is to use a registry file to set the correct colour codes. I used the app "RegfromApp" to find out where and what is required for Windows Personalisation.
 
Still haven't found a working solution for me.
Is it possible to set the color by reg-file for the default user with NTlite?
